“Chimney Cricket has one of the best experts for chimney knowledge which helps identify the chimney issues. The estimate and repair were done in a timely manner. This is the only team I would utilize to service chimneys, dryer vents, and fireplaces.”

“I love Chimney Cricket, Inc. They did my yearly chimney sweeping. They've been doing this 25 or 3 years. I think they're fair and reasonable, and they know what they are doing. I use them because they are in the area. They have been in the business a very long time, so there is no need to switch. I would grade them an A+. I would recommend them, because I don't know any others. If anyone wants my opinion, I'm happy to share.”

“Chimney Cricket, Inc. replaced the liner inside the chimney, and they did some mortar work in the basement where the alpha pipe was heading out from the water heater end of the chimney. To be honest, I was expecting it to take a bit longer than it did. They were in and out quickly. They were really great about explaining the price quote and what they were going to do. They left the place in great condition. It was fantastic. I would grade them an A.”

Review by Thomas B. | Wayne, PA

10/08/2017

“They understood the codes and were very concerned about safety issues. I wanted the chimneys to pass safety inspections by any other outside inspector and I believe they accomplished that. They were knowledgeable about water and masonry integrity issues and how the weather affects the masonry. They rebuilt one chimney in an aesthetically pleasing manner per my instructions.”

Review by Sarah R. | Chadds Ford, PA

“Chimney Cricket performed a comprehensive inspection on our 2 chimneys as part of a home inspection. They found a number of chimney issues that had never been discovered by a customary home inspection. Ended up saving us about $4,000 as the owners had neglected the chimneys and they were both leaking.”

“Chimney Cricket has one of the best experts for chimney knowledge which helps identify the chimney issues. The estimate and repair were done in a timely manner. This is the only team I would utilize to service chimneys, dryer vents, and fireplaces.”

“A guy came out and cleaned my wood stove chimney and afterward gave me an estimate of over $4000 to put a new liner in the existing liner. He didn't use a ladder and never even went up to the top of the chimney to assess from the top down. The estimate was very high level and when asked to break it down a little more he wouldn't. I had another company come out and they told me putting a little ET in the existing chimney would cause a lot of backdraft. They told me I really need to remove the existing terracotta and then put a new stainless steel liner in which was the full width of the opening. Would never recommend these guys, sorry.”

“Was not a fan of the person who came out. They showed up, didn't resolve the issue (burning logs in fireplace made it smell inside), didn't have a solution, tried to charge me extra money for an additional chimney sweep to take a look at it. Tried to get me to get additional services not related to the issue at hand, even after not having a solution to the issue. He also broke one of my blinds in the house, didn't apologize. Ultimately, just feel like it was money wasted.”

“Heather and I have used Chimney Cricket for years now and we've been completely satisfied, which is why we have continued to use them. Their people are fully professional, honest, and friendly. I can't imagine a better chimney sweep company.”

“We had to have them come out and fix something that wasn't done properly and then the total service didn't include one item that we thought was going to be included, based upon our conversation. Pricing was a little high. They did a cap and some crown repair. I would give them a B-.”

Review by PA Homeowner

08/10/2016

“I just got the feeling that they were trying to oversell me. I asked them to come and sweep my chimney and they had all these proposals for thousands of dollars to replace bricks and do this and do that. It seemed like a big selling job. I had to get it done quickly to get the heat replaced and their price was really high, compared to other chimney sweeps in the area after I checked the local pricing. They only did a chimney sweep. I would give them a B.”

Review by PA Homeowner

“The promptness and quality of work made it positive. It was just easy to deal with. They did chimney cleaning and repairs. I would give them an A.”

“They were professional and reasonably priced. They did a cleaning and gave me an estimate for any other repair work that needed to be done. I would grade them an A.”

Review by PA Homeowner

07/07/2016

“They were supposed to fix something. They fixed it, but they caused some damage. They say they didn't, but I'm fairly certain that they did. It was something else that was fixed in the house previously but that wasn't fixed correctly, but it was left with more damage. And when they replaced, they didn't replace with the original model that I had. I just got sick of dealing with them. It took them about three months, I'm just guessing, to complete it. The rest of the work was fine, so I would grade them as a C-. They did what they were supposed to, but they screwed up other stuff. I think they know their stuff.”

Review by PA Homeowner

07/07/2016

“They were prompt and very respectful. I didn't get the sense that they were trying to upsell anything, and they came to do what they needed to do. They were just doing a biannual cleaning. I would grade them an A.”

“They did a great job. They did everything that we asked in the time frame that they quoted and within the budget that they quoted. They had to tear the chimney down to the root and rebuild it. I would grade them an A+”

Review by PA Homeowner

“They come when they say they are going to come and are easy to contact. I think their prices are great. They've helped us for quite a few years. I would grade them an A-. They just kept forgetting one tiny thing, and it was so minor I should not have said a word. I would recommend them to anybody that needed a chimney sweep because they are trustworthy.”

“One of my fireplaces didn't have a cap on it. The other fireplace had a cap, but I think an animal got in my fireplace. Animal control came and advised that I get it replaced. So Chimney Cricket, Inc. replaced two caps. They were very honest, because the first time they came to look at it, they said the cap that I had on there would not keep out small animals. They had to measure it, so they came out and it was the wrong size. They left me a note, and came back and fixed it. I liked that, and they were clean. I would grade them an A.”

“Chimney Cricket, Inc. did an inspection, and they are coming back next month to put a new liner in. They were fine. They came and told us what was wrong with the chimney, and it was more than what we expected. So we had to hold off until we could do it. They were okay with that, and they honored the price that they gave us for six months. For right now, I would grade them an A, but I haven't had all the work done yet. Everything was good, and that's why they are coming back to do the work. I would recommend them.”

“Chimney Cricket, Inc. did a great job, and the guys that did the work were nice and pleasant. I was there a good while when they were doing the work, and I have nothing bad to say about them. It looked great when they were done—you couldn't tell they were there. I would grade them an A.”

“They come when they say they are going to be there. When they walk in, they cover their feet so that they don't track anything through your home. There is never a mess, and they are very pleasant. We've dealt with them for years, and we would recommend them to anyone. We have a wood burning stove, and they did some repairs there. We have a fireplace as well and then when they looked at the chimney and what not, they knew that we needed a relining, or pointing, or whatever done. So they were very good at foreseeing anything that might cause us problems. They give a written estimate, with everything clearly outlined and the cost of having something done. When you call for service, I usually speak with Ginger. You don't have to play phone tag. They are really good at calling you back. I would grade them the best, A+. They are very good. I would definitely recommend them.”

“They were very good. I liked that they were inexpensive comparatively, prompt, and clean. There was a problem, and the fellow was really knowledgeable. I called them to do a cleaning, but they were able to do a simple repair that didn't require any tools or work. I don't remember the name of the fellow that came, but I got the impression that he was very experienced. He sort of fooled around with the damper in the fireplace and just fixed it on the spot. It was just realizing how to get the damper to slide back into the track. I had someone sweep the chimney before, and they never told me there was a problem. I didn't know. I felt really well served. I would grade them an A. I would recommend them.”

“Chimney Cricket, Inc. was very responsive. When I called them up they answered questions, and the guys were reliable. They came out and did a very good job. They pointed my chimney, put on scaffolding, installed a gas fireplace, and put in a liner the fireplace. They went a little bit beyond doing the work and gave me recommendations on things to do. The cost was reasonable. I would grade them an A.”

“They did some work. It wasn't quite right, but when I called them back, they did come back and correct what wasn’t done correctly. They were putting on a chimney cap to keep out the squirrels. The second time I think it took a day or two. I would grade them a B. I would have liked to have my work done correctly the first time and not have it done a second time. It was difficult in the beginning.”

Review by PA Homeowner

“They were fantastic. I couldn't say enough about Chimney Cricket, Inc. They converted a gas insert into my wood burning fireplace, and completely redid my chimney. They were real professional and responsible. They were considerate of being in the home, and they worked quickly and efficiently. The experience went above my expectations. I would grade them an A.”
